I'd say they've been either the 2nd or 3rd best team so far, but a couple of their players went missing this week as New Delhi slumped to a score of 1215. Below, is real footage of Ricochet trying to find them, before elephants had to step in and de-escalate the situation...

The up-and-down team of the comp (to paraphrase PB) hit a big low this week, with Rio de Janeiro (1167) succumbing to its lowest score of the year. Interestingly enough, Toronto were next in the gun this week!

I think Ralphy best describes the mood at Rio week-to-week

Whilst I'm out venting, I got eliminated with the highest-low score so far, all the way back in freaking Round 10...

Bah, humbug

They're not normally a praying team, but if you're up there, please save us Tom Mitchell, as Pacific (1281) exits the World Idol.

They might have been the favourites for the Idol & the premiership, but we say goodbye to Toronto (1479) with... the first decent elim score of the year. Despite form, you're out.

It was a tremendous H&A season, with many top-scoring weeks to show for it. But despite having HGA, and matched directly up to their opponents in Seoul, Beijing (1441) couldn't get the job done.

This would be them if the lightning came after the Thunder!

CONGRATULATIONS TO SEOUL for taking out the World Idol!

It was an incredible finish to year, where despite finishing 6th on the ladder, they averaged 154 in the last month to take out the Idol!
